North Country Beekeeping Education
Our apiary grew over the summer 2023 with help of SUNY Potsdam Environmental Studies student intern, Charles Bennett.
Since 2023 with SUNY Potsdam’s WISER Center where we have been educating staff, faculty & students how to maintain their bees while also providing those services. As of 2025-2026, we are working with 3 student interns each semester & summer learning how to keep these bees!
ecoVerdant
Dr. Erin founded ecoVerdant in 2014, a non-profit organization focused on environmental education, conservation, and outreach. Through their efforts to increase pollinator habitat, ecoVerdant was awarded over $120,000 in grants paid directly to rural schools, organizing over 10,000 donated community volunteer hours to support pollinator habitat conservation and youth outdoor education in East Texas. Through their services as a licensed Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation & Release Center, ecoVerdant was able to raise and place hundreds of orphaned or injured animals back on the landscape – including gray foxes, white tailed deer, raccoons, bobcats, prairie dogs, and various bird species.
